Should the students be involved in the choice of the next president of Harvard University?

Should the actual student body be a part of the process?

“… To pursue a career as a college president, you typically need a doctorate in education, economics, or a related field. You must also have a proven record of success in higher education. You can gain this experience by working as a university professor or administrator. Maintaining a clean public record is also essential..”

No.

Here’s hoping they replace Gay with another equally woke person just to infuriate the right wingers who are evidently all about cancel culture.

That would just re-create the cycle.

I think the young progressive ivy leaguers will do the right thing here and elect this type of candidate: https://youtu.be/MgzTDyjNRRs?si=SCWBDjn06pBQLsxK

It’s the only way to ensure all is all and education is all.

But, still no.

A student rep or two on the committee? Sure. The student body as a whole? Nah.

As long as the next woke President isn’t a serial plagiarist that would be fine.

Almost all university search committees have a student rep.

Not Harvard, but I served as the student rep on a committee to hire the President at the college I attended.

The same students who perpetuated anti-semitic hate speech? No.

Most search committees for high level positions (deans, presidents) have some sort of student representation. It's a big committee with faculty, staff, administrators, alumns, trustees, and probably a student or two.
